Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

8 oz spaghetti noodles
olive oil
1 lb ground beef/turkey
1 small onion, chopped
garlic, oregano, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt
tomato base options: 28 oz tomato sauce or 2-11 oz cans tomato soup base--thin with milk if using soup

Bring large pot of water to boil. Add spaghetti and boil until al dente, 8-10 minutes. If spaghetti finishes before sauce, drain and add 1-2 T olive oil to prevent sticking.

Meanwhile, brown ground meat in large skillet. Add chopped onions and cook until onions are tender. When meat is cooked and onions tender, sprinkle with spices to taste (start with 1/2 tsp of each, if you need a quantity). Add tomato base and let simmer until desired thickness.
